Maybe today but not in the 80's.

Right. With all of the hundreds of millions of dollars (at the time) out there to be made, only one group tried to challenge them and failed miserably, despite the NFL going through multiple strikes. The NFL was so vulnerable that nobody else was interested in all of that money. I mean, they were a sitting duck in the 80s but the rest of corporate, private investment, just the anonymous really rich dude America, decided collectively "Nah! Who wants hundreds of millions of dollars that are just begging to be taken?" And, thus, the NFL somehow survived. That's how we do it here in the USA. Of course, you being a capitalist, you inherently know that this is how private industry operates in a free enterprise system when the industry leader is vulnerable and hundreds of millions of dollars are there to be competed for.

Mercy. OK, that's enough sarcasm for today.

Of course the NFL would always be the top dog. The point I was making is that the USFL was in a unique position. Some teams could pay higher salaries than in the NFL, which attracted significant talent. Additionally, the games were played in the spring, which meant that they had no football competition. Would the league have lasted if Trump never got involved? Maybe. Did Trump almost single-handedly kill the league? Yes.

Without going back and looking, I think I said, "our country is stupid and/or racist enough to elect Trump."

And that doesn't make me racist.

Are you one of those weird people that thinks calling people racist makes you racist?

Calling 62 million people racist because of one action makes you racist, yes. I am one of those people.

Maybe you need reading comprehension lessons.

"And/or" means some are racist and some are stupid.

And, no, even if I was calling 62 million people racist, that wouldn't make me racist.

He didn't. That wasn't him recruiting the players. Again, there are inside accounts of it that blames Trump for its demise.

So you’re back to saying that acknowledging racism is racist?

That is not what you are doing. You are stating that the only reason Trump won was due to racism. There is racism but you way over exaggerate it. That makes you racist and an A Hole. You also know what I mean but are playing coy. That makes you an even bigger A Hole. I asked you what percentage of this country in your opinion is racist and you didn't answer. Because you don't know. I would guess it is less than 10%. I would also guess that millions of racists voted for HRC.
